Due to the nature of a running race, participants are strongly discouraged from using headphones during the Cleveland Half Marathon and 5k. Dogs, bikes, skateboards, and jogging strollers are not permitted in the race.

Results will be provided immediately after the race online, and if opted in, will be provided live throughout text message.
